Dance in Video Volume II: 19 titles (14 hours)

• Romeos et Juliettes (Windrose). In the first hip hop ballet of Romeo and Juliet, with 7 hip hop dancers, 1 circus performer and 1 actor, director Sebastian Lefrançois revisits iconic scenes of the original play. The electronic music created by Vincent Artaud is superimposed on original symphony music by Laurent Couson.
• Romeo and Juliet (Opus Arte). Given its premiere by The Royal Ballet in 1965 with Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn dancing the title roles, Kenneth MacMillans first full-evening ballet has become a signature work for the Company, enjoying great popularity around the world. Although The Royal Ballet has performed Romeo and Juliet over 400 times, each performance and pairing is subtly different and Lauren Cuthbertson and Federico Bonelli are utterly captivating in the title roles.
• Extended Interview with Bill T. Jones (MacNeil-Lehrer Productions). An interview with Bill T. Jones about his work as a dancer and choreographer.
